So there is - I'd forgotten about that. Of course it would restrict the
amount of RAM that's being tested, but it may be worth trying; thanks
for the idea. Meanwhile I think I don't need to get swapping as I've got
two instances of the script operating in competition, one on each
physical disk. What with the BOINC clients, some routine emerging and
ordinary X user activity, if this doesn't break the system I don't know
what will!
